Alkaline Diet, Paleo Diet? Alkaline Paleo Diet!

Congratulations. You’ve just taken your
most important first step on what we passionately believe is the ultimate way to good health! What you are about to discover in this and
the following videos is the result of 20 years of research and study across almost every
known field of health and nutrition. Over that time we’ve personally interviewed
scores of leading health and nutrition experts. We’ve researched and trialled almost every
diet from the raw food regime and the ‘no meat, no dairy’ diet to the alkaline diet
and the paleo diet. We’ve put our health on the line and made
mistakes that you don’t have to. We’ve gone down dangerous diet pathways
you can – and should – avoid. We’ve trialled hundreds of promise-filled
products, pills, potions and programmes that simply don’t work. Everything we’re about to recommend to you
here has been tried and tested in our own lives. Everything that worked – everything that
helped transform our health and the health of the thousands of people who have written
into us over the years – is revealed here – The simple secret to endless energy. The ultimate insight into the causes of so
many debilitating and unnecessary everyday health problems. Easy, affordable, natural and proven ways
to help cure yourself of high blood pressure, anxiety, IBS, depression, headaches, migraines,
candida, chronic fatigue, osteoporiasis, dementia, weight gain and libido loss. Ways to understand, avoid and even heal heart
disease and many forms of cancer. It’s all here and it’s all absolutely
free. So sit back, take a deep, alkalising breath…
and enjoy. As we say here at Alkaway, you’ve got nothing
to lose – and a whole lifetime of endless energy and vibrant health to gain… (Cassie V/O behind onscreen graphics) Cassie’s Voice: The first thing you need
to know about the Alkaway is that it is not another new diet – nutrition is important,
seriously important, but nutrition is only one aspect of the Alkaway. There are actually four essential and easily-addressed
aspects to this unique and truly-amazing way which, when applied together, will totally
transform your health, turn back the clock on your appearance and flood your body with
energy! Now before you start thinking “ four aspects,
this is all sounding too hard already” – it’s not! In fact one of the 3 other ‘essential aspects’
I’m going to introduce you to shortly is as easy as turning on your kitchen tap. And the other two are up to you – if you
include them you’ll simply get better, longterm results. If you don’t, you’ll still make enormous
improvements in your everyday health and energy. So what are the four essential, easily-applied
aspects to the Alkaway? Here they are here: 1. Nutrition –You’re going to discover
the best foods for maximum health, maximum energy and maximum protection from degeneration
and disease. Water – Our blood is 82% water. Our lungs
are 90% water and our brain is 85% water. At the end of the day we’re all just a whole
lot of grown-up ‘water babies’! We use 3-4 litres of water just living each
day. We expel 2 litres of water just breathing! The fastest, easiest, cheapest way to improve
your energy and your health is to drink the right amount of water every single day. And
when we say ‘water’ we’re not referring to acidic bottled or tank water, we’re talking
about a kind of water that is as alkaline as a super-serving of spinach, as energising
as a caffeine hit and teeming with more anti-oxidants than you’ll find in any plant, potion or
high-priced product on Earth. But more about that shortly… Exercise. Exercise is another word for “active
alkalising’. Also did you know that from 40 onwards we lose 1% of our muscle tissue
every year. It mightn’t sound much but over 20 years that’s a fifth of all our body’s
muscles. Also, without some regular resistance workout our bones lose their density and become
osteoporatic. The combined outcomes of diminished muscle tissue and osteoporatic bones is increased
physical frailty and increased risk of falls – one of the top five causes of death in our
society! And you might be interested to learn that medical science has recently proven a
link between regular exercise and the reversing of cognitive diseases such as dementia. 4. Lifestyle. If you seriously want the Alkaway
to work for you like its already working for thousands of others, you’ve got to look
at all those bad lifestyle habits like smoking, too much alcohol, too much time acidifying
infront of the tele… The simple truth is, once you start on the Alkaway and start feeling
the enormous improvements in your energy and wellbeing, you’ll want to change your lifestyle! So there, in brief, are the four Essential
Pillars. And, as I said earlier, none of these work in isolation – especially the first
two, NUTRITION AND WATER. Let’s look at them now because they are,
without doubt, the two most important and most misunderstood subjects of all! And to tell you about them I have to relate
an experience that utterly changed my life – and the life of my partner and Alkaway
Co-founder, Ian Hamilton. It’s fair to say it was an experience that
probably saved our lives – certainly our health! For decades Ian and I had studied, researched
and practised almost every aspect of nutrition and healthy living. We had immersed ourselves in the findings
of the world’s acknowledged experts – best-selling international authors and authorities on food,
health and natural healing. By the end of those two decades there wasn’t
much we didn’t know and hadn’t tried. For many years we embraced the alkaline diet
–lots of raw salads, nuts, steamed vegies, alkaline-rich vegie juices and litres of alkalised
and anti-oxidant –rich-water every day. It seemed like nutritional utopia. Gone were
the usual winter colds and flus – and the constant alkalising cancelled out many of
the everyday acidifiers that cause inflammation in the body – stress, high-carb foods, shallow
breathing, pollution and toxins. As you can verify for yourself on the various
websites, the Alkaline diet exponents claim that all you need to do to regain and retain
perfect health is eat 80% alkaline foods and reduce your acidic food intake to 20%. In terms of the body’s instinctive drive
to maintain an almost 80-20 alkaline/acid balance, this seems to make perfect sense. Or does it? One of the major – and permissible – food
groups on the alkaline diet is fruit. Fruit is a delicious, natural source of alkaline
minerals. Throughout our years on the alkaline diet
my partner and I consumed tonnes of fruit. We even added fruit to our daily vegie juices. Unfortunately, as I later discovered, fruit
is not the alkaliser we all thought it was. In fact the high sugar content in fruit actually
acidifies the body – and our poor livers don’t even see it coming! Not only that, the acidic foods that made
up 20% of our new diet actually lacked the nutritional punch our bodies needed. We devoured grains, nuts, pulses and lentils.
We always ate whole foods but the truth you may not want to hear is that none of these
foods are complete proteins– they lack vital parts of the amino acid chain that are absolutely
essential to the body! For a long time we seemed to be fine – no
outward signs of poor health at all. Then one day I suddenly realised my 60 year
old partner Ian’s memory was definitely deteriorating. Then he fell off his son’s skateboard, broke
his leg and discovered he had an advanced form of osteoporosis. In the meantime I had started experiencing
all kinds of not-so-nice menopausal symptoms along with an increasing bouts of irritable
bowel syndrome. Something we were or weren’t eating –was
quietly under-mining our precious health – and it didn’t take much research to discover
what! And here’s when we realised the Alkaline
diet was only half the story. The other half was based on a simple, scientific and, (to
many vegetarians, raw foodies and alkaline dieters) unacceptable fact – Good Fats –fats
saturated in complete amino acids– fats not found in the vegetable kingdom but only
in the animal kingdom – in meat, fish and eggs – are every bit as essential to good
health as alkaline rich greens and water! Our brain is 70% fat. Our heart’s real food
is saturated fat. All those ‘whole’ foods we were eating as
a substitute for animal products are totally missing these good fats.
The fact is, we need good fats to create cholesterol, the body’s natural food source for all of
our hormone cascade. Yes we do need cholesterol.
Cholesterol creates hormones in the body, so if we are deprived of it we are unable
to make the hormones necessary for healthy hormonal balance.
If I am only going to have only 20% acidic foods in my diet then they need to be the
best nutrient dense foods I can get. So if we reduce or remove fruit, what are
we left to eat? Greens! And what is the most nutrient -dense and amino acid packed food
on the planet? Meat, eggs and fish!
Remember: Vegetables are great detoxifiers but they are not nutrient dense. This amazing discovery regarding the crucial
role of good fats and complete amino acids led us to an amazing nutrient-rich diet where
you actually eat less! (Cut to full-screenscreen graphic: The Paleo
Diet- A Nutrient Dense Diet where you’ll naturally eat less!)
The Paleo Diet is based on what mankind has evolved to eat over the course of our evolution.
Our Palaeolithic ancestors ate some fruits and vegetables – only in season – and when
they could, some honey but the bulk of their food was meat, with fish and eggs in certain
areas. This is a very nutrient dense diet. I’m not making this up. You’ll find an excellent
link to Dr Loren Cordain’s research on this page.
Our ancestors had clean food, clean air and clean water so they had very little need for
detoxifying. They had little need for vegetables and would eat them in small amounts when game
was scarce. It’s now clear to many Paleo Anthropologists
that we could not possibly be sufficiently evolved enough to live healthily on the highly
acidic carbohydrate food that we are giving to ourselves today. An evolution of that degree
will take thousands of years. In fact our bodies are still ‘paleo’ – they still have
a blueprint that survives best on what they evolved to eat; meat and fat. You may disagree
but the research is clear. Never before in our history have we consumed
the amount of sugar we have consumed today. Grains – especially wheat – have been around
for a relatively miniscule part of mankind’s history. Our paleo gut just isn’t able to
deal with these high levels of carbohydrates , so opportunistic bacteria abounds in the
bowel consuming what our normal digestion can’t deal with- carbohydrates.
Graphic onscreen: Why the Alkaline Paleo Diet? By combining the Alkaline Diet with its powerful pH restoring benefits
and the essential Good Fat features of the Paleo diet in an 80-20 ratio, we are giving
our bodies the very best building blocks for longterm good health. Already I have noticed enormous improvements
in my partner’s memory. His testosterone levels, low on the alkaline-only diet, are
back where they should be. We have both noticed incredible changes in our energy and wellbeing.
